Indira Meshram, a computer engineer by profession and housewife by choice, has been on both sides of the fence. An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, she holds a master’s degree in Computer Science, and her research has been published in international academic journals. She worked for large corporations before deciding to quit her full-time job to pursue her dream of achieving true fulfillment. An avid traveler, she has visited more than forty countries, which helped her gain an appreciation for both Western and Oriental cultures. She is an initiated member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. She lives with her husband and two daughters in a community founded on the principle of ‘simple living and high thinking,’ and spends her time teaching, writing, and baking.
